Can tattoos be removed?
As much as I dislike this question, I have to admit there are definitely tattoos worth removing. Before we get into it however I have to say you shouldn’t get a tattoo if imminent removal is on your mind. Almost every method of removal leaves some trace scar tissue. The best method is laser removal in which a laser vaporizes the ink particles in the skin. Old methods usually involved burning or abrading the entire area, definitely messy. If you like tattoos I suggest you look into getting a cover-up from someone competent. Laser removal usually requires many sessions and the fees add up usually 3-4 times what a cover-up would have cost. However if the old tattoo is on the darker side, 1 or 2 laser sessions may ease the complete concealment of the design. Cover-ups are always best with a consult session or two before hand.
